Big Brother Australia 2005 was the fifth series of Big Brother Australia, and was aired on Network Ten in Australia, and TV-2 in New Zealand with a four-week delay. The series started on May 8, 2005, with housemates going into the House the day before, and finished on August 15, 2005, lasting 101 days. The theme of the series was "single, sexy, and competitive".

Auditions for housemates were held in March 2005. In a departure from usual procedure, candidates were not required to send in videos of themselves as had been the case for prior auditions. Instead, the producers toured major Australian mainland cities and conducted interviews. They searched for sexy singles that were willing to have sexual relations on camera. Promos for the show suggested that Big Brother would be different this year, and phrases such as "Assume Nothing, Expect Anything", "Let's Play", and "Think Again" were heavily used throughout the series, especially during Opening Night.

[edit] Fines

Main article: Big Brother Australia#Fines

On Opening Night, it was revealed that $5,000 Australian dollars would be subtracted from the $1,000,000 prize money every time the housemates broke a rule. Such rules included discussing nominations, which must remain secret; not giving adequate reasons for nominating; and forgetting to wear microphones at all times. Michelle was known for being the housemate to get the most such fines: $65,000. Geneva had the least amount of fines $15,000, two in the early days at the house and one near the end of her eviction.

[edit] The Logans

It was also revealed that twins would be entering the House, regularly changing places without being informed of what the other twin had done while in the House. Greg and David entered the House as a single person named Logan (their shared middle name). Their task was to remain undetected for two weeks while swapping places at Big Brother's command.

The secret of the twins was discovered one week into the series by housemate Glenn, and this was revealed during Lies Exposed. As a result, both Logans were able to continue living in the House, but would be treated as a single person in matters such as evictions and nominations.

Late in the series a special eviction was held where one twin was evicted based on the votes of the other housemates, and the remaining twin allowed to continue in the House as a normal housemate. During this eviction process David was evicted. However, because Greg was the last housemate to be evicted, both David and Greg shared the prize equally.

[edit] Disqualification

Almost immediately upon entering the House, two housemates, Constance and Nelson openly admitted they were in relationships. A third housemate, Dean, had been confronted by Big Brother about the same matter just hours before entering the House, and he admitted that he was in a relationship. For this series, only single housemates had been sought by the show's producers, and these contestants had lied during the audition process in order to still be eligible for the show; going as far as taking their partners into lockdown with them, telling producers that they were friends. These housemates reasoned that once the show began airing there was no need to continue the pretense as there was nothing Big Brother could do about it now that they were already in the House (and the TV show was underway).

One week into the series the situation was addressed in the show. The producers announced that the threesome had broken the terms of their contract. They were sent to the stripped down Rewards Room before Big Brother allowed them back into the House. Unknown to the housemates, the three were nominated for eviction and the Australian public selected two housemates to be evicted. Constance and Nelson were evicted during Viewers Verdict, while Dean remained in the House and refuted Big Brother's assessment of his wrongdoing. The following week Dean was again nominated for eviction for this infraction, but again survived the public vote and someone else was evicted.

Big Brother decided that neither Constance nor Nelson should have prizes, which was disappointing for Nelson in particular because he said he only wanted to be in Big Brother for the prizes; especially the car - a prize that had been typically awarded to evictees of the previous year.

Constance broke up with her boyfriend a week after her disqualification.

When Dean was ultimately evicted many weeks later (after being nominated for eviction during the usual nomination process), the problem was again addressed, and after the prizes he was eligible for were presented there was some question in the Live Eviction show as to whether he would receive them. Gretel Killeen first asked the crowd for their opinion on whether Dean should receive the prizes. After a mixed reaction, Gretel received instructions through her earpiece and then announced that Big Brother had decided that as he had survived in the House until after the Intruders had arrived, he had earned the position of housemate, so would receive the prizes.

[edit] Live Surprise

"Live Surprise" was a live show broadcast on Day 2. During this show, the Logan twins swapped places with each other for the first time. They were given two minutes in the Diary Room to exchange as much information as possible, and Greg then had to go to the Isolation Room while David went into the Big Brother House. The Daily Show was broadcast as a part of Live Surprise.

[edit] Lies Exposed

"Lies Exposed" was a show broadcast on Day 8. After Glenn's discovery that Logan was in fact two twins, this was revealed to all of the housemates. Before this, Nelson, Constance, and Dean, were all evicted to the Punishment Room; and were told their fate by Big Brother. Hosted by Gretel Killeen.

[edit] Viewers Verdict

"Viewers Verdict" was a live show broadcast on Day 10. This special was aired because Dean, Constance, and Nelson, had all lied about their relationship status. A public vote was held, that was started on Day 9 and was closed during the show, minutes before two of these housemates who had broken the rules were evicted. Constance and Nelson were evicted in this show, and were reunited with their partners. They both had separate eviction interviews with Gretel, and were both told that because they had deceived Big Brother, they would receive no prizes.

[edit] Intruder Eviction

"Intruder Eviction" was a live show broadcast on Day 59. The housemates were given 1 minute 30 seconds to discuss amongst themselves which of the new Intruders, Rita, Heath, and Melanie, they wanted to keep. They decided to keep Rita, so Heath and Melanie were put up for eviction. As the public SMS vote started and finished during the show, lasting only twenty minutes, viewers in Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory were not able to vote as television shows in Australia are broadcast with a delay depending on the state to compensate for differences in Australian time zones. Heath got the most votes and was evicted.
